Alright, lets get started.

Three brothers together borrow $ 72 from their parents.

This $ 72 has an equal share of each brother.

So, share of each brother will be =
(72)/(3) = 24

So, the same share will be for youngest brother too.

It means youngest brother has to pay $ 24 to his parents.

He already owes $ 15 from his parents.

So, total he must pay back will be =
24 + 15 = 39

So, once he returns the money to his parents, his savings will be changed - $ 39 .

So the answer is - $39. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
